by Phyllis Lambert, John Szarkowski

Description

Through a commission from the CCA, three contemporary photographers spent six years interpreting the work of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903), North America’s most important landscape architect. Viewing Olmsted: Photographs by Robert Burley, Lee Friedlander, and Geoffrey James presents 155 photographs from this commission to offer visitors an opportunity to understand Olmsted’s achievement visually through an unprecedented range of photographic evidence.
